A college wants to discuss with me about a teaching opportunity and I am not sure if I should let them know beforehand of my hearing condition :) I don't know what to do, and maybe it was not smart for me to apply in adjunct positions. However, there should be opportunities in life/career for...

I am into everything, work, school, writing... In school professors do not feel well when I ask them "what?", in workplace I am given positions where I don't need to hear. Hence, books and internet are my usual interaction with the world.

It took me 14 years to come with a deal with my hearing loss, and I never did it. I can't make hearing friends in US (I am a foreigner also), I never find time to learn ASL... I am left with books only, and my mom. That's all the comfort I could find.... reading books and taking care or mom :)...

You may be right, but I am lost already... I will need 5 to 6 years to master ASL, and in 5 or 6 years is too much time for a 33 years old person.... (especially when success is not guaranteed even with ASL). Let's better say, I lost and no chances to teach :)

Usually they ask previous teaching experience and good ASL. In community colleges, they do not ask these two always.

You mean that I should pay again for other credits? I am 33 and have paid 30k for my education in the US. Your advice may still be good. But what exactly it means for my time and money? Two more years of education? Twenty more thousands? I am just asking to know what's going on, cause I am not...

Working toward my second (or third, if you include my foreign degrees) MA in the US. I have a lot of publications on my resume, two fiction books, one play, 4 essays in academic journals (two of them in English). I'd love to learn ASL if I am given the chance to work with deaf people. But...

Thank you for the clarification!

Thank your for your reply! My question is if DHH can teach hearing students? It would be helpful to learn from other DHH, if they had been in such situations. By the way, schools for the deaf seem to ask more qualifications than community colleges. This is why I thought to try adjunct...

I am a foreigner in the US, and appeared with hearing loss 10 years ago. I speak 4 languages, but not ASL. Unfortunately, my life is so busy that I cannot devote time in learning ASL and I am more interested to interact with hearing people/students, cause I wanna improve my verbal skills...

Hello, I think I was born to teach and this why I turned to be a writer (when you write your classroom gets bigger). I have a lot of skills to be an effective employee to any companies, but after interviews very few call back and usually they give me jobs where I do not need to hear and where I...

Hello, I see many people here have been at Gallaudet. Does Gallaudet show any interest in the arts and social sciences? I have the impression that colleges for the deaf in the US and abroad want students to focus on professions only (i.e. IT, nursing, carpentry, and so on) cause they can't...

My body is in NYS, my soul everywhere...

Thanks, I am just little confused since I don't know if one can be creative and work for the government at the same time (Gogol & others have wrote a lot on how depressing is for the artists to work for the government :) But, there's no money for writers (especially for disabled ones) and every...

I wanted to come for a writer in residence, there in Bergen, but could not leave my mom alone for 3 whole months (I take care of her). Anyway, I guess soon or late I may come there to find some inspiration in the cold & clouds. By the way, women must be tall there.... that's cute :)

Welcome to the Ghosts Club :) I am a writer, and HOH too. Yesterday I applied for a position in Chicago and was wondering if it is good for artists and deaf/hoh people there. From what you say, it sounds more interesting place than the town I live in. By the way, most of the literature is deaf...

Turn off your cell phone and Facebook. Don't look within yourself (cause only hunger and passions you will find), look on others and nature always. Read a lot and when you write don't ask yourself what you feel, but what your reader is feeling.

They are not disadvantaged at least, as we do for many reasons. Sounds are beautiful and life itself is beautiful. If you can give life is really good. If you can give life and sounds to your kids is even better. This is how I see things...

I have lost the number of the languages I have studied (Latin, Ancient Greek, Greek, Italian, Arabic, Russian, German, Spanish, Farsi, English), but as I appeared with hearing loss in my twenties I could not keep pace with those languages. I still retained my skills only in English, Greek and...

I don't do it for money, and I don't make money from blogs (nor my friends do). But is nice to hear that some deaf people may earn a living from blogging.
